You can still refer to ANSI for these standards, but the Secretariat was
moved to ASSE. AIHA management decided that managing ANSI standards
relating to a core part of the Industrial Hygiene profession was too costly
to be worth the effort.

In follow up to the recent discussion of lab ventilation issues, someone
sent me the information below about the ANSI standards involved. I had heard
that AIHA was giving up management of the 9.5 standard, but didn't realize
how many other standards were affected...

I received a notification on the 14th of this month from a source of
technical standards that tells me when standards I am interested in have
changed (and I have them on a list it watches) that the following changes
have taken place:

Superseded by: ASSE Z9.1

People will need to get out of the habit of referring to ANSI for these
documents, at least in some ways.
